What you fail to understand in your joyless myopia is that baseball is the key to life-- the Rosetta Stone, if you will. If you just understood baseball better all your other questions your, your... the, uh... the aliens, the conspiracies they would all, in their way be answered by the baseball gods.

I like Reddick enough, but I think Jackson’s upside is much better, and both guys are going to start the season in the upper levels (Brett’s likely to start in AA).

I agree
Reddick is better than a lot of the guys who have been voted on of late, but I like Duffy just a tad more

Really?
Seems like a tweener to me, both with the glove and with the bat.

I find it hard to believe that anyone thinks Jemile Weeks is a better prospect than D’Arnaud. Plus defender at 2B, and a much better hitter in pitching-favorable environments. Weeks hasn’t hit anywhere outside of the Cali League.
I’ve gone back and re-evaluated further, and the next best to me is Conger. I just hate the kid’s injury history, especially considering that he’s a catcher, but his stock really took a jump this year. Both his offense and defense improved by leaps.

And on a related note
I also find it interesting that a lot of folks rate Weeks over Cardenas. They’re both the same age. Cardenas has hit better than Weeks at higher levels than Weeks. Cardenas has stayed healthy while Weeks has had constant injury problems. Weeks’ range is a bit better at 2B, and he has a prettier looking pedigree and a prettier looking swing (with worse results), but it doesn’t make a ton of sense to me that he’d be rated higher than either Cardenas or D’Arnaud, unless you’re just favoring raw athleticism for the sake of favoring raw athleticism.

I prefer Cardenas and d'Arnaud
but maybe Week’s fans are favoring raw athleticism for the projectability of that into production at higher levels, as opposed to for its own sake. Just a quick thought.
But all three are the same age
And Weeks is 5’9" with high heels on. It’s not like he’s projectable.

I’m a big d’Arnaud fan, but I’ve got Weeks ahead of him because I see more upside in Weeks’ bat. He displayed fantastic plate discipline throughout his college career, and I think his prospect status is being dinged by the fact that: (a) the injuries; and (b) the fact that he’s never had enough time at a level to put up really impressive numbers.
It’s not favoring athleticism for the sake of favoring athleticism, not for me at least. It’s thinking that the tools and athleticism, combined with the plate discipline, can make for a well above-average major league second baseman.
Got it
